NEO31 helps homeowners, Realtors, property professionals and trade professionals navigate real property work by project, trade and market. Use this guide to understand the work involved, what to ask before hiring, and how Lynknester can help connect a project with a trade professional.

Search by problem, not just by trade

Real project searches are often specific: a leaking roof before listing, a move-out clean in Dallas, an HVAC failure in Houston, drywall repair in Fort Worth, or a contractor needed after an inspection. NEO31 is designed to answer the practical questions behind those searches rather than simply publish a directory of names.

What to check before hiring

• Confirm the professional handles the exact project type.
• Ask what is included, what is excluded and what could change the price.
• Verify licensing, insurance and local requirements when applicable.
• Ask about timing, availability, materials and who performs the work.
• Keep the scope and agreed price in writing.
• For higher-risk work, confirm permits and inspections where required.

For Realtors and property professionals

Pre-listing repairs often involve several trades and a short timeline. Lynknester is built to help coordinate those needs through a project-request workflow, while NEO31 provides the market and property intelligence that helps people understand what to do next.
